2/10 Poor

A Shocking Experience—Literally
Let me start by saying I had high hopes for this new hotel. The photos looked modern, the reviews were glowing, and I thought, “Hey, why not give it a shot?” Big mistake.
The first red flag? The bedding. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to sleep inside a crinkly polyester bag while being slow-roasted in your own body heat, look no further. The sheets—if you can call them that—felt like a hybrid between plastic wrap and a cheap Halloween costume. But the real fun started when I turned over. Zap! A jolt of static electricity strong enough to power a small village shot through me. I spent the night dodging lightning strikes in my own bed. By morning, we had earned a bonus prize—a full-body rash! That’s right.
Then there was the room itself. Space-saving? Sure. But the furniture looked like it was designed by someone who had never actually used furniture before. If IKEA and a discount dollar store had a love child, this would be it.
The bathroom was another sensory adventure. The provided toiletries smelled like a mix of burnt plastic and expired citrus.
The biggest mystery? The 1,000 glowing reviews. Are people sleeping on a different planet? Or are they just immune to suffocation by polyester? Either way, I’m convinced these must be written by robots—or people who have never encountered a cotton sheet in their lives.
Moral of the story: Don’t trust the hype. Call ahead and confirm the bedding situation, or risk waking up feeling like a microwaved marshmallow.
